Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the plasma levels of soluble extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN) differed among the patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-STEMI (NSTEMI) and stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and the healthy controls, and to identify the factors associated with the differences in plasma levels of this this protein among patients in these groups.
